   In a few years, when people watch this historic footage, you have to explain why everybody is wearing masks.

   I recently worked through this essay: https://quantum.country/qm Thanks to that i understand what "Aspect shows that nature doesn't make sense either" means. I can recommend the article (and the three others)

   Thank you! I did not think of grabbing it out of stroll. Tried searching for plugins but never encountered the "Stories" plugin.

   Do you know a single plugin to get the two columns layout of stroll?

   Zettelkasten externalises associations. Spaced repetition trains recall. I'd say they complement each other well.

   I recently discovered https://quantum.country/ It combines spaced repetition and article in one medium. It is too early for me to really judge its success but i like the idea.

   But then there can be a smaller solution and this one is not the minimal one anymore.

    Some years ago, I tried to replicate the ACM paper style in LaTeX: http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/acm_html/test.html The biggest problem is floating figures. ACM papers have a copyright notice on the first page at the bottom

    I used to do that on my blog. Example: http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/team_building.html Stopped doing it as I got negative feedback about it being annoying. I never tracked how many tweets I get out of it though. So if you aim fo

    If you go for free and online anyways, then you can pursue more interesting formats like Quantum Country [0]. It seems to include a spaced repetition mechanism. I have yet to try it though. [0] https://quantum.country/

    Laptop + docking station is the default setup at my work place. Works fine for me. If you have a laptop with USB-C, you can get power, screens, keyboard, mouse, and audio all with a single cable.

    For work days per year, I usually use 200. It is 5 * 52 = 260. Now subtract vacation days in Germany: -30. Minus some holidays. Minus potential illness. In the US maybe 250 is closer and if you can multiply it by 4 in further calculations s

    Rule of five: Take five samples. You can be 93% confident the median is between your five samples. Works for any distribution (not just normal).

    When I did it, we skipped the Make part and reinvented it in Python: https://github.com/libfirm/sisyphus This aspect of expected and unexpected test changes is even more important than the diff part in my opinion. It a

    In german companies, I see an increasing use of Threema as the "official" messenger. Is that only a german trend?

    Devil's advocate: A public trust network is great for advertisers. They would know exactly who the influencers are and how to cover the population with a minimum of influencers.

    Atom has one annoying characteristic: It requires a self link to be valid. For static website generators it means you configure the domain for no reason except Atom validity.

    This is not discovering. This is drowning in content. If i were looking for front end blogs, I'd say: Thanks, but I'll rely on some aggregator instead.

    I think news aggregators are more responsible for a changed blogging culture than Google with its search results and Reader killing. I think the primary discovery mechanism should be blogrolls but few blogs have that today. My website does
